Empire Bagel Factory is a family-owned bagel shop with deep roots, bold flavor, and a passion for quality that’s been baked into everything we do since 1994. Founded in Marco Island, Empire Bagel Factory has grown from a local favorite into a Southwest Florida staple, now proudly serving guests across five locations throughout the area.

Owned and operated by Rachel, originally from Long Island, New York, and Lucas Oest of Peoria, Illinois, Empire Bagel Factory brings together classic New York–style. Our bagels are crafted with care, made fresh daily, and known for their authentic texture, flavor, and consistency—crispy on the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside.

From handcrafted bagels and premium cream cheeses to breakfast sandwiches, lunch favorites, and fresh-brewed coffee, we’re committed to using high-quality ingredients and time-tested methods that keep customers coming back. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or feeding a crowd, quality is never compromised.

We also proudly offer catering and wholesale opportunities, making it easy to bring Empire Bagel Factory’s signature products to offices, events, restaurants, and retailers throughout Southwest Florida. If you’re looking for reliable service and exceptional products, we are here for you.

At Empire Bagel Factory, we’re more than just bagels—we’re a tradition, a family, and a community favorite, serving Southwest Florida one great bagel at a time.
